What Parents Need to Know

About Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Parents need to know that other than some comic mischief, you won't find anything questionable or offensive here. While some characters are apt to get a boot to the rear end now and then, "Mama Mia" is as close as you get to cursing.

    Worth every penny!

    I have kids from 2 - 12 that can all play this together. It is a great game for a group to enjoy. The best game for my 2 year old is the dream race and the least favorite is fencing followed by vault. The older kids 4 and up enjoy all the games.
